It was announced over the weekend that the 10 p.m. curfew in Baltimore was being lifted in a move intended to bring a sense of normalcy back to the city.
The curfew had been implemented last week in the wake of destructive riots and looting that occurred after the funeral of Freddie Gray, a young black man who died from a spinal injury while in police custody.
Now that the smoke has cleared and the clean up of the city continues, it has been revealed that approximately 200 businesses were destroyed in the riots, causing untold millions of dollars in damage and lost business.
However, a connection among most of the destroyed businesses was also revealed too, and it has to do with who owned the destroyed businesses.
During the riots, many black-owned businesses put up signs announcing such and directing looters to take out their criminal aggression elsewhere, if they weren’t already being protected by gangs and protestors.
According to Breitbart, most of the businesses destroyed in the largely black areas affected by the Baltimore riots were owned by Arabs or Asians, and not white Americans, reminiscent of the Los Angeles riots in the 1990s.
“Stores were being looted a lot of terrible things, but since then I’ve seen incredible acts of kindness,” said Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, speaking about the riots last Monday night before noting that the city had largely returned to a peaceful status.
Thankfully, Gov. Hogan stepped in to the dire situation the day after the riots, sending in the National Guardto help keep things mostly peaceful over the past week and allow the city to begin recovering.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Baltimore must still answer for allowing the rioters to loot at will on the night of lawless rioting, and the Arab and Asian business owners should hold her directly responsible for the loss of their livelihood.
If Obama would hurry up with that amnesty, there would be plenty of Latinos to do the work.
Dat b ok kuz day be rich mofos and day dezerv it, after all day be white mofos juss rippin’ us off every day. Day bad folk, day dezerv 2 b punish...
The right is stupid if they go along. They are defining your how you can counter them to the point you can not say anything.
Thugs, thugs, thugs!
And the condoms, Father’s Day cards and job applications weren’t stolen or burned at CVS.
The left, like their founding “father”, has a real problem with the truth,
and with words that are “truthy”.
That’s why they change what they call themselves so often.
When a word, no matter how PC, comes to be known for what it is actually labeling, they change it.
The political left is the “honey wagon” of ideologies.
If this report of tribalism is accurate, then no non-black business should ever go back into Baltimore, and the area should just rot. After 1.8 billion in Obama Admin stimulus money directed to Baltimore, it is not an issue of money, it is an issue of perpetual victimology and culture. Build a fence around it like in Escape from New York.
America Hater, POTUS, Obama’s and the Democrat Party vermin, glowing city (on fire, set off by Obamabot savages) on the hill, BALTIMORE, MD!!!
They ought to leave the buildings empty and move their businesses to a different part of the city...
And yet they’ll complain no one wants develop stores in their neighborhoods.
I happen to have it on good authority that only one business was destroyed and the purveyors of if-it-bleeds-it-leads journalism played the video on a loop.
Unless you want to call Preezy Urkel a liar.
Rassis!
“My insurance agent stated that if this happened to my business, there would be no coverage.”
Most commercial policies have an exclusion for “civil unrest”. Not intending to sound snide, read your policy, you probably have such an exclusion....and you shouldn’t have to read too deep to find it.
My life insurance policy had a clause that stated that if I was killed while committing a felony crime or while participating in a riot, the insurance was no good.
In a shocking turn of events, Destruction happened in the space to destroy given by the Mayor.
If I owned any of these businesses I’d be talking with my lawyers on how best to sue both the City of Baltimore and her personally.
The CVS pharmacy was almost completely destroyed... only suntan lotion and Father’s Day cards were left on the shelves.
“Thankfully, Gov. Hogan stepped in to the dire situation the day after the riots”
The day after? Wow, good job.
I remember Bush being crucified, in the media, for not reacting fast enough after 9-11 and Katrina.
200 businesses X ~ $200K/insurance claim... Holder’s people have learned to out-destroy Cat 3 hurricanes.
